   I have a flock of chickens that run with my goats. I may have a goat that has come down with listeriosis. Should I be worried about contamination of my chicken flock? The goat just started having symptoms last nite and is on penicillin and thiamine shots now. Has anyone had a chicken with listeriosis and know what to look for? Also, should I keep the goats separated from my flock?

   This is the Merck Vet Manual's page on poultry and listeriosis, reading it, I would be really really concerned and sure try to keep any potentially infected animals away from the others.
